International applicants are required to take the Test of English
as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) if English is not their native language.
TOEFL scores should be three years old or less. For further test
information, write to TOEFL, Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box
6151, Princeton, NJ 08541. Satisfactory English proficiency is a
prerequisite for graduate study at the university, and a minimum of 600
on the paper test and 250 on the computer-based test is expected.
Applicants of questionable English proficiency will be required to take
a test upon arrival at the university and, if necessary, to take course
work in the English as a Second Language program before commencing
their M.L.I.S. studies. Nonimmigrant students must present evidence of
adequate financial resources. The university may deny admission to
nonimmigrant students for lack of English proficiency, for lack of
financial support, or because of improper visa status.
